Historic Ayuthaya Ruins and Cruise

Just an hour’s drive north of Bangkok, Ayutthaya makes for a wonderful day trip. This ancient Siamese capital is famous for its history-rich temple ruins and summer palaces. A trip to Ayutthaya, however, can be more than temple visits and palace tours. Immerse yourself in the local culture, by exploring the fascinating backstreets on foot, bicycle, or even Segway transporter. For a glimpse into Ayutthaya’s charming riverside, embark on a river cruise and relive the journey once enjoyed by the royal court and foreign emissaries to the kingdom.
